Birthday Wishlist

Hello! Today I bring you my birthday wishlist. I know it's sill some time to go till my birthday which is just in April but I won't be in town the two weeks before my birthday and most of these things you can only find online, so yeah.

Let's get to it!

I'll start from the top left to the right and down.

1. Lorac Unzipped Gold Palette $42
2. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette $54
3. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette $29
4. Real Techniques Nic's Picks Brush Set $30
5. Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer $27
6. Orchard CS-201 Steel Boned Underbust Waspie Mesh Corset $75
7. Zoeva Rose Golden Complete Eye Set 65€ 
8. NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette 25$
9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Medium Brown $18 
10. MAC Cyber Lipstick $16
11. Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in L.U.V. $20
12. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Villian $21
13. Real Techniques Retractable Lip Brush $6 
14. Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette $49 
15. NYX Wicked Lippies in Risqué and Sinful $6
16. OCC Lip Tar Metallic in Black Metal Dahlia and Technopagan $18
17. Nars NARSissist Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow Palette $79

There's a lot of stuff in this list! I could add more, it's true but I think this is enough.
This is just a "gather up" of all the things I've been digging. Some of these things are things I've wanted for years and years and some are more recent.
I'd say that one of the things I want the most is really the corset. I've wanted to start waist training forever (I blame mother nature) and I finally found a corset that suits my needs and this Orchard one is it.

As you can see I included pretty inexpensive things as well as things more on the expensive side of the thing.
You gotta let a girl dream..

I'm pretty sure I won't get not one thing in this list but I'll leave it here anyway.

That's it for this post!

Love,
Anna

S/S Wishlist

Hello! In this last few days the weather has improved tremendously. Sun and warmer weather in general have been fun after a couple months of unstoppable rain. That has got me thinking about the Summer. I don't specially enjoy either Summer or Spring but I realised I need a few things. This wishlist includes such items. First the center piece, then clockwise.

1. I've officially given up on bikinis. I don't enjoy getting a tan and two pieces aren't too flattering on me. I need a swimsuit for this Summer. 2. Everytime I go to a field trip I break a pair of sunglasses. This is gospel truth. So I clearly broke my fantastic cat-eye shades at Mafra and I want a new pair. 3. Sunscreen. I. Always. Need. Sunscreen. 4. The only pair of flats that I own is very much in need of retirement. I'd like to find something similiar to these. 5. As I said in a previous post, I'd like to try some kind of coral lipstick. I might buy one of KIKO since their lipsticks aren't too expensive. 6. I recently got a new phone and I still haven't found a case for it. I saw this one with a Supernatural (one of my favorite TV shows) related print and I decided to include it. 7 & 8 These two are different kinds of wallets. I've never bought one that I was 100% happy with and that's something I should get sorted as soon as possible. (I love all the Beauty & the Beast things at Hot Topic they're so cute!)

Have a wonderful weekend.

Until next time

LOTS OF LOVE,

Tânia

Tânia's Christmas Wishlist

Hello! Today I thought I'd make a Christmas wishlist. I don't really celebrate Christmas, but my Catholic family does live it quite intensly so I always end up joining the holiday spirit. I enjoy giving gifts; one of the greatest pleasures I have in life is seeing people's faces when they receive something I've made or bought especially for them. And getting presents is also great, I won't lie. I decided not only to include beauty items but entertainment items aswell. I hope you enjoy it!

But before we get to the actual post, just a little very important note: For the next two weeks I'm going to post on Friday and that's because Christmas and New Years are on Thursday and I'm usually quite busy on those holidays so it will be much easier to post on a Friday.

BEAUTY

1 - Too Faced's Boudoir Eyes Shadow Palette  2 - MAC's Film Noir Lipstick  3 - MAC's Cyber Lipstick  4 - Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Perfume

ENTERTAINMENT

1 - The Pretty Reckless' Going To Hell  2 - Behemoth's The Satanist  3 - Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South  4 - Catherynne M. Valente's Deathless

This is a quite short wishlist but includes most things that I've been thinking of when I'm doing Christmas shopping. I hope you enjoyed this post and I wish you a merry Christmas!

LOTS OF LOVE,

Tânia

Lipstick Wishlist + OOTD

Hey! Today I bring you a lipstick wishlist and an outfit of the day.

Lipstick Wishlist

To be completely honest with you, this was a really hard list to make because I initially had 27 lipsticks in my list but I had to reduce it to around five, so you lipstick addicts can feel my pain.
I will have to admit that I am still not that much of a lipstick addict for two simple reasons: it requires quite a lot of maintenance and I'm really clumsy and all so I'm constantly scared that I will smudge it and make a mess out of it during the day.
Lately I have been trying to get into the lipstick world a bit more just because a lipstick makes a huge difference in a person's face, specially if, like me, you tend to do the same eye makeup every day.

Going through all the lip products in my list, I actually found out that some of them were discontinued, so I am only including lipsticks that are available in stores and online at the moment.

There's no specific order to this list.

MAC's Cyber 

I have had a crazy obsession with MAC's Cyber lipstick since I found out about it in a makeup video, quite a long time ago, so I decided that I would have to include this gorgeousness in this wishlist.

Cyber is a deep, dark, reddened purple, as described by MAC.
Since it is a satin finish lipstick, the pigmentation seems to be a little on the sheer side, which is, is my opinion, unfortunate since the color is so beautiful.

OCC's Technopagan

This is not a lipstick! But I had to include it in here.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics came up with this genius idea of making a lip product with loads of pigmentation and you don't even have to use a lot of product!

Technopagan is a metallic tip tar from the Unknown Pleasures collection, their fall/winter 2014 collection.

Technopagan in a blackened purple with blue pearl, as described by OCC. This lip tar attracts me so much for it's beauty on the lips. It comes out as a very dark metallic blue that has a purple base.

OCC's Black Metal Dahlia

Black Metal Dahlia is a blackened burgundy with red pearl, as described by OCC. This lip tar is in their permanent collection of lip tars and is a metallic version of the original Black Dahlia lip tar. It is so beautiful! It shows off on the lips as a rich metallic deep red color.

LimeCrime's Serpentina 

Serpentina is a metallic, iridescent green with a snake-like sheen, as described by LimeCrime.

This is, unfortunately, a limited edition lipstick. I've been dying for this lipstick since I saw it in their last collection. It's a true metallic emerald green.

LimeCrime's Poisonberry

Poisonberry is a bright berry-purple with a snake-like sheen, as described by LimeCrime.

This one is, again, a limited edition lipstick from the same collection as the lipstick above.
I've been in the purple mood lately and this is metallic!!!

As you can see, most of the lipsticks in my wishlist are rather dark or bold colored.

The last four lipsticks remind me of jewels since they are metallic and have amazing color payoff. They just look so precious and beautiful!

OOTD

I thought of adding an outfit of the day to this post just because I thought it would be too short only with the wishlist.
This is just a little "sample" of my "fashion".

This is the outfit of friday actually. It wasn't the best, to be quite honest. I just threw on a pencil skirt, an oversized top and a jacket and I was ready to go.
Since I wear mostly black, textures and fabrics are really important to make things a bit more versatile, so here I decided to pair a black satin pencil skirt with a loose cotton top. I also decided to wear fishnets under regular black tights, just to mute it out a bit. 

Oversized top: H&M
Skirt: Zara
Jacket: Stradivarius
Shoes: Seaside
Skeleton hand ring: Unkind
Labradorite ring: Medieval fair
Necklace: Swanheart
Sun glasses: Bijou Brigitte

I hope you have enjoyed this week's post.

Love,

Anna

Top 3 Instagram Make Up Inspiration & Wishlist #1

Hey lovelies! Even though I was planning on posting a make up look today, like Anna did on her last post, school (which started on Monday) didn't allow me much time to do so. Yet, hopefully my next post will be something better!

This post will be a double post. The first part about the three Instagram accounts that inspire me the most in terms of make up and the second a accessories and fashion wishlist. I hope you enjoy it!

TOP THREE INSTAGRAM MAKE UP INSPIRATION

X†iNA (depechegurl): I don't even know where to start. Firstly, I wish I had half of her skills. Secondly, her make up looks always strike me as some of the loveliest I've seen. I'm not afraid to wear crazy colors in crazy ways on my face so she's totally one of my main inspirations!

Ashley (hollywoodnoir): I draw lots of inspiration from vintage and gothicly inclided fashion & beauty and Ashley seems to be the epitome of exactly that.  She also has a blog and a YouTube account.

Joana Baldaia Moreira (thrvsangel): Joana is my spirit animal. She's super lovely and whenever I see a picture of someone with 60s looking makeup I always end up thinking of her and her Edie Sedgwick look. Her Instagram account is private but I definitely had to include her in this short list.

WISHLIST

1. I have a thing for pointy witch-like shoes, so the first thing on my wishlist is a pair of winklepickers with multiple buckles. 2. I have tons of chokers but I still don't own an O-ring and that's something I plan to change soon. 3. You know the girl that is so afraid of the sun that sunscreen is an essencial even during Winter? Yup, that's me. I've seen lots of hats like this one in many stores but they're all really expensive. I'm still waiting for the right time to buy one. 4. I own quite a few music/film/series related t-shirts but I always want some more. 5. My biker style (clearly, faux) leather jacket is pretty much dying. I've had it for sometime now and it need to retire. 6. Finally; I've always wanted a Wednesday Addams kind of dress but most that I've found in stores were really unflattering on me, so the never ending search for one continues.

I have to apologize about the short lenght of this post, but I promise the next ones will be much better. Originally I was going to include five Instagram accounts but I wasn't able to make myself chose two more when these three are the main inspiration. You can also check my account or Anna's; thanks in advance on the behalf of both of us.

LOTS OF LOVE,
Tânia
